dd is mainly in me onesize but I use minki huggles if she needs extra absorbancy, i.e. when we're going out for a long time and long car journeys. She's just grown out of her size small huggles so I need to replace them. Only need a couple, but finding 2nd hand huggles hard to come by. What else is similar? Don't want aplix as she can undo these and don't fancy using nippas. What do you use, and do you have any for sale (She's about 22lbs now and almost 10mths.) Thanks

Look on www.teamlollipop.co.uk. I think it is and see if there's a demonstrator near you. My friend is one and it's great - you can try nappies to see which ones you like and then order what you want. They're not high pressure sellers at all.
I've just ordered some Bamboozle all in ones with fleece boosters for my 1.8 dd.

I'd say Bamboozles from Tots Bots, they are really slim and hold alot (I use them for days out or nighttime) because the are slimmer than regular tots you can also get away with more boosting (say at night), yet they don't look massive during the day. My record is 5.5 hrs (we were at a wedding a 2 hrs car drive away and in the excitement I forgot to change him Blush and that was without boosting). They are only aplix or nippa but with a popper wrapover the top, they should be fine?

I personally wouldn't use Huggles for daytime, they would be a bit on the bulky side. Hemp nappies are pretty good for days, very absorbent and quite slim. Most of my hemp nappies are from the US, so I'm not sure which to recommend
I'm trying to think of popper nappies for you - there is a new hemp nappy at Easy Peasy nappies, called the Harmony nappy. I have tried Ella's house and they might suit, the main problem for us was that the bumhugger didn't offer the poop containment that we needed for our ds.
Another option for you might be the new microfibre nappies, like the Tots Fluffle or the Dizzy and Diddy diaper microfibre nappies (see the Nature Babies website)
Happy Hempy nappies are good, because you can have them slim with one hemp insert, or stuff them more for nighttime. They are aplix though, but just put vest over the top of the wrap.
Hope that helps
have a look at my cloth nappy blog \link{http://www.clothnappyreview.blogspot.com\here} for other ideas. Smile
